WoT Supertest: Serpente – Iteration 2

Serpente (🇮🇹 Italy, Tier IX Medium, Premium, Dual-Barrel Gun Mechanic)

The 🇮🇹 Serpente has received nerfs to several characteristics in its second Supertest iteration.

For clarification: you corrected us earlier that the tank visually and by gun name appears to have a 120 mm gun. However, technically, game files list it as a 105 mm gun. This doesn’t matter much while it’s in testing, but by release, the 105 mm caliber will interact with armor using the 3-caliber rule.
